docbook-website is pretty specialized; it's a DTD/stylesheet combo
designed pretty much exactly for building Web pages that look like,
say, http://www.docbook.org/. If that's what you're trying to do,
great; otherwise, there's nothing wrong with using normal DocBook and
using DSSSL/XSLT stylesheets to produce HTML from it.

Really? I see /usr/share/sgml/docbook/custom/website/2.0b1/xsl just
fine on my machine (running sid, docbook-website 2.0b1-1). The
README.Debian file points to
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/website/example/, which has
enough information to get going.
(And no, don't ask why I'm drinking the XML cool-aid. I really have
no idea.)
